That stuff maybe you've heard about pursuing your passion, and
the people/work/$$$ will come along? IT'S TRUE. This last
year I have been studying the science of consciousness, and last
spring a playwright in NYC found me in an on-line group, called me
up and asked me to be her SCIENCE ADVISER! Like Richard Branson, I
just said YES and everything is changing, so fast I'm
breathless.

SO I found my life again after losing everything I had and everyone
I loved; it happened when I stopped looking. I used to think of
life as a journey, a pilgrimage with eternal purpose, and I was
headed to some fabulous destination: success would come when I
finally was where I needed to be, had what I wanted, was with whom
I needed, whatever I spent all my life preparing for --- then I
realized that would always be in the future, at a time I will never
be...and I had missed the point the whole way along: LIFE is
MUSIC played by the UNIVERSE so I should SING and DANCE now, with
the COSMOS providing the SOUNDTRACK for my LIFE ! Want to make
it a duet?

Fixing anything about a computer, seeing another's point of view,
talking things through, seeing the forest (there are trees??),
explaining what's happening in relationships, working to redeem a
seemingly impossible situation and making it win-win.

Finally, Finding a way to make it (life-&-all) work: everywhere
I am they call me THE GLUE: I fit in everywhere and I hold
things together. Unfortunately this tends to make me invisible, and
nobody misses me until after I'm gone and the damn thing breaks
again. So when I'm gone, recycle those pieces.

Fiction Authors: James Lee Burke (all his books), Clive Cussler,
Robert Parker, Robert Charles Wilson (all), Ayn Rand (all her
works), William Shakespeare (12 plays, all sonnets), Stephen
Baxter, Nancy Kress (just a current list from the last 2 years),
Dean Koontz, David Baldacchi, just finished another trilogy (WWW.)
by R.J. Sawyer, about an emergent consciousness waking up on the
internet (fascinating)

If you guessed that I tend to find a really great author and
explore them thoroughly, you're both perceptive and right
(does that feel good? I like to make people smile)...I did this
with every classical music composer out there, too!

Right now, I'm retired and living alone in a very nice place in
southwest Phoenix...the truth is I have plenty of free time to go
with you somewhere (movie? museum? hike? dance?) ...on most
evenings I am probably doing laps in our heated pool or soaking in
our jacuzzi. Just come over here without thinking too much about it
-- we'll go somewhere and there will be nothing to regret.

I'm willing to admit my most private things with you. Think of me
as a virtual pinata (and feel free to beat me with verbal sticks),
but you won't be disappointed with the candy. Be attracted, be
repelled, be flummoxed, be frightened, be drawn like a moth to
flame - doesn't matter to me, but DO just be YOU. I'm real, and I
want someone real.
